AMoNoPoLYIN ENVELOPES.
How the Manufacturers Are Seeking a
Monopoly.

A strong combination has been formed
by the leading envelope manufacturers
OF the country for the purpose of main
tanning prices and controlling the indus
.ry. This has been brought about by a
resurrection of the Standard Envelope
Company an organization OF similar pur-
port, which was formed some five or six
years ago, but which soon collapsed. The
concerns which compose the combination
are White, Corbin Il Co., Whitcomb En-
velope Company, Piimpton Manufacture
ng Company, Holyoke Envelope Com
pany, Powers Paper Company, Logan,
swift & Brigham Envelope Company,
j. q. Preble Il Co., Berlin & Jones En-
velope Company, Samuel Raynor d Co.,
p. Z. Kellogg & Co., Springfield Envel-
ope Company and Wolf Brothers.
These firms represent about 80 per cent
OF the productive capacity of the entire
country, and control all the machinery
or envelope manufacture as well as the
patents thereon. The members Of the
,ool are bound by stringent rules. They
ire restricted to certain percentage OF
heir productive capacity, and are also
pound not to deviate in any manner from
he pool price list under penalties OF 1850
for each otiense, and twenty-five cents
per 1000 ON the quantity sold below
price. Bonds, both to the company and
TO each other, are required of the mem.
oers to insure the payment of fines and
oeualties. The executive committee Is
nven authority to examine, at any time
.he books OF any member of the pool in
,rder to render detection of offenders
Easy. The agreement by which the poo
formed went into effect July |, and il
TO continue for five years. Under the
new list prices will be advanced from
Ave to fifteen cents per 1000 on CONNER
,ial sizes and fifteen to twenty-five OF
government sizes, but retail prices viii
lot be affected at present.
